Trimming Regions
In addition to the Trim tools, Pro Tools provides
several options for editing region and region
group boundaries.
Trim Region to Selection
Command
The Trim Region to Selection command re-
moves data before and after a region or MIDI
note selection, leaving only the selection. This
command lets you quickly remove all data in a
region (and in some instances the entire track)
except for the current selection.
To trim unwanted data from a region or note:
1
With the Selector tool, select a portion of a re-
gion or note (or a range of notes).
2
Choose Edit > Trim Region > To Selection to
remove material outside of the selection.
Trim Region to Insertion
Commands
You can trim a region or MIDI note by automat-
ically removing the material between the Edit
insertion point and the start or end point of the
region.
To trim from a start point to insertion:
1
With the Selector tool, click inside the region
or note where you want the new start point to
be.
2
Choose Edit > Trim Region > Start To Inser-
tion. The region’s start point is automatically
trimmed to the insertion point.
To trim from an end point to insertion:
1
With the Selector tool, click inside the region
or note where you want the new end point.
2
Choose Edit > Trim Region > End To Insertion.
The region’s end point is automatically trimmed
to the insertion point.
Trim to Fill Selection Commands
The Trim to Fill Selection commands let you au-
tomatically reveal underlying material in the
gaps between regions, as follow:
To trim from a start point to fill gaps:
1
With the Selector tool, select across at least
one gap between regions.
